Did you check the contents of your test1.resend file?  Did you rebuild 
your wrapper?  The wrapper has compiled in knowledge of where $homedir
is supposed to be, and if you moved it, you need a new wrapper to reflect
the correct/current location.  If you do not have the source code, you
may find it easier to put the directories back, but make symlinks to them
in the directories names that you find easier to deal with.

If the actual directories are /usr/lib/majordomo and /var/lib/majordomo 
but you want to use /majordomo and /majordomo-data instead, from / as the
root user do:

ln -s /usr/lib/majordomo majordomo
ln -s /var/lib/majordomo majordomo-data
